rcu: Add debug check for too many rcu_read_unlock()
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
TREE_PREEMPT_RCU maintains an rcu_read_lock_nesting counter in
the task structure, which happens to be a signed int.  So this
patch adds a check for this counter being negative at the end of
__rcu_read_unlock(). This check is under CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING,
so can be thought of as being part of lockdep.
